9.2 Logging in
Use the administrator username and password. If this is your first login, use the default values
shown in the cover page of this guide.
Note: The IES automatically logs you out of the management interface after five minutes
of inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again.
9.3 Using Shortcuts and Getting Help
This table identifies some shortcuts in the CLI, as well as how to get help.
The help generally follows these syntax conventions:
• Each interface refers to a port on the IES.
• Required input values are in angle brackets <>; for example,
ping <
ip-address
>
means that
you must specify an IP number for this command.
• Lists (such as
< port-list >
) consist of one or more elements separated by commas. Each
element might be a single value (1, 2, 3, ...) or a range of values (1-2, 3-5, ...) separated by a
dash. Use an asterisk (*) to indicate all possible elements.
• The
|
(bar) symbol means “or”.
• Optional fields are in square brackets []; for instance, in
snmp-server [contact < system
contact >] [location < system location >]
, the
contact
and
location
fields are optional.
• The
<cr>
means press the
[ENTER]
key.
9.3.1 Entering Partial Commands
The CLI does not accept partial or incomplete commands. You may enter a unique part of a
command and press
[TAB]
to have the IES automatically display the full command.
For example, if you enter
config
and press
[TAB]
, the full command of
configure
automatically
displays.
If you enter a partial command that is not unique and press
[TAB]
, the IES displays a list of
commands that start with the partial command.
